Science Poems

Science Poems is both a book and an exhibition that investigates the poetry and multi-sensorial aesthetics of natural science. We developed a visual concept for the project in a way in which the content of the book can be read twofold; highlighted parts (purple) are directly related to the exhibition and work as its catalogue.

The launch event and exhibition took place in Paris in June 2010, and the project has since traveled to Helsinki and Berlin with a final reading in London, September 2010.

Edited, curated and published by OK Do, the book is distributed by Motto. The Science Poems book won the Vuoden Huiput Young Creatives Ladder Award in 2011.
